Abstract Introduction Anemia and bone disease are hallmarks of multiple myeloma (MM). Sotatercept (ACE-011) is a novel, first-in-class activin type IIA receptor fusion protein that binds with high affinity to activin A and GDF11, and it acts during late-stage erythropoiesis to increase the production of mature erythrocytes through a mechanism independent of erythropoietin. Sotatercept has shown promising activity in clinical trials for anemia in myelodysplastic syndromes (Komrokji et al., ASH 2014) and in thalassemia (Cappellini et al., EHA 2015). Additionally, we have shown that targeting activin A through an analog of sotatercept reverses osteoblast inhibition and improves MM bone disease in a mouse model (Vallet et al., PNAS 2010). Lenalidomide increases activin A secretion with consequent inhibition of osteoblastogeneis, and this can be abrogated by treatment with an activin A neutralizing antibody (Scullen et al., Leukemia 2013). Sotatercept has been previously studied with melphalan, prednisolone, and thalidomide in MM (Abdulkadyrov et al., Br J Haematol 2014). Based on these findings, we evaluated sotatercept in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in MM (NCT01562405). Methods Patient with relapsed and/or refractory MM with at least one prior line of therapy, anemia with hemoglobin <13 g/dL, lytic bone disease, and otherwise adequate organ function were eligible to participate. Sotatercept 10, 15, 30, or 45 mg was given s.c. q28 days along with lenalidomide and weekly dexamethasone on a standard 28 day schedule, with dose escalation following a 3 + 3 design. Sotatercept was held for hemoglobin ≥13 g/dL or for ≥ grade 3 hypertension. Bone mineral density by DEXA was assessed after four cycles. Bisphosphonates were not permitted during the study; prior bisphosphonate therapy was allowed. Results Thirteen patients with a median age of 62 years (range 49-77) and a median of 2 prior lines (range 1-5) of therapy have been enrolled to date (July 31, 2015). Median duration of treatment is 8.1 months (range 0.5, 27 months); five patients continue on study. The MTD has not been reached, and the current dosing level is sotatercept 45 mg with lenalidomide 25 mg. Grade 3-4 adverse events included anemia (38%), diarrhea (15%), fatigue (15%), hypophosphatemia (15%), and thrombocytopenia (38%). Grade 3 hypertension occurred in one patient receiving sotatercept 15 mg (hemoglobin at the time, 11.5 g/dL). There was one death on study that was unrelated to treatment. In patients who completed at least two cycles of treatment, there was a significant mean increase in hemoglobin on study of 0.94 g/dL (N = 10, p = 0.0048) from a mean starting hemoglobin 10.27 g/dL (range 8.6, 12.2). Mean maximal increase in hemoglobin was 2.11 g/dL (range 1.1, 4). Bone density by DEXA was assessed after four cycles. In patients who received a cumulative dose of sotatercept over 45 mg (N = 6), total lumbar spine BMD increased by a mean of 2.0% after four cycles; 83% had increase in BMD. ORR for this combination was 60% (CR = 1, VGPR = 1, PR = 4, SD = 4) in patients evaluable for response. Conclusion Sotatercept in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone is well tolerated with expected toxicities related to lenalidomide in MM. Preliminary data from this ongoing study suggest that sotatercept leads to early increases in both hemoglobin and bone mineral density, and it is the first agent that may address both of these significant causes of morbidity in MM.

Abstract Abstract 1860 Background: ARRY-520 is a potent, selective inhibitor of kinesin spindle protein (KSP, eg5) which is required for cell cycle progression through mitosis. Treatment with ARRY-520 arrests cells in mitosis with subsequent induction of apoptosis due to degradation of survival signals during mitotic arrest. Cancers, such as multiple myeloma (MM), that depend on the short-lived survival protein Myeloid cell leukemia (MCL)-1 are highly sensitive to treatment with ARRY-520 in preclinical MM models, providing a strong rationale for its clinical investigation in this disease. Methods: This Phase 1 study was designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), preliminary efficacy and biological activity of ARRY-520 administered intravenously on Days 1 and 2 every 2 weeks without/with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) support. Eligible patients (pts) had relapsed or refractory MM with ≥ 2 prior lines of therapy (including both bortezomib [BTZ] and an immunomodulatory [IMiD] agent), unless refusing or ineligible for this therapy. Cohorts were enrolled in a classical 3+3 dose escalation design. Results: Enrollment in this Phase 1 study is complete. Thirty-one pts have been treated, with a median age of 60 years (range 43–79) and a median of 6 prior regimens (range 2–16). All pts received a prior proteasome inhibitor (30 pts BTZ, 4 pts carfilzomib) and an IMiD-based agent (28 pts lenalidomide, 23 pts thalidomide). Twenty-four pts had an autologous stem cell transplant. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was determined to be 1.25 mg/m2/day without G-CSF. As neutropenia was the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), dose escalation with G-CSF support was conducted and the MTD for ARRY-520 with G-CSF was determined to be 1.5 mg/m2/day. At the MTD, 1 of 7 pts had a DLT of febrile neutropenia. At doses above the MTD, additional DLTs of Grade 3 mucositis and Grade 3 corneal disorder were observed. ARRY-520 demonstrated an acceptable safety profile. The most commonly reported treatment-related adverse events (AEs) included hematologic events (anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia), as well as anorexia, blurred vision, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, febrile neutropenia, mucositis, nausea and rash. No treatment-related AEs of neuropathy or alopecia were reported at the MTD. ARRY-520 has been dosed over extended periods of time (to date, median 7 cycles [range 1–44]), with no evidence of cumulative toxicity. The plasma concentrations of ARRY-520 were determined over a 7-day period during Cycle 1 following the Day 1 and 2 infusions of ARRY-520. The preliminary noncompartmental PK parameter estimates in this population were similar to those observed in prior oncology studies. The PK was characterized by low clearance (CL = 2.2 L/hr/m2) and a large volume of distribution (Vss = 232 L/m2). The t1/2 of elimination was very long (67 hrs). Concentrations were typically maintained above the in vitro IC50 for KSP inhibition for ≥ 7 days suggesting therapeutically active concentrations of drug were maintained in pts for sustained periods. Further analyses of PK relative to safety and activity are on-going. ARRY-520 showed activity as a single agent across a range of doses in this heavily pretreated population (31 evaluable pts) with 3 confirmed partial responses (PR) and 1 confirmed minimal response (MR) per International Melanoma Working Group (IMWG) and European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EMBT) criteria. PRs had a median of 7 prior therapies (range 2–8). Responses were durable; to date, the durations of responses for PRs were 3.4+ months (mos), 11.9+ mos and 12.0 mos, respectively. Of interest, the time to response with ARRY-520 was prolonged, with a median time to PR of 3.7 mos (range 3.7–8.1). Notably, responses were observed in pts refractory to multiple standard-of-care agents. In addition, 4 pts experienced a best response of stable disease (SD) lasting ≥ 10 mos. To date, 5 pts remain on study, including 2 of 3 PRs. Conclusions: In this Phase 1 study, ARRY-520 shows promising evidence of clinical activity, with a long duration of response and an acceptable safety profile in heavily pretreated MM Patients. A Phase 2 portion of the study is ongoing to obtain additional information on the efficacy, safety and biological effects of ARRY-520 at 1.5 mg/m2/day with G-CSF support.

Abstract Abstract 432 Elotuzumab is a humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody directed against CS1, a cell surface glycoprotein, which is highly and uniformly expressed in multiple myeloma (MM). Elotuzumab induces significant antibody-dependant cytotoxicity (ADCC) against primary myeloma cells in the presence of either autologous or allogeneic peripheral lymphocytes (PBMC), which is significantly enhanced when PBMC effector cells were pretreated with lenalidomide (Tai et al., Blood 112:1329, 2008). The primary objective of the phase 1 portion of the study is to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of elotuzumab in combination with lenalidomide and low dose dexamethasone in patients with relapsed MM. The study is also evaluating safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and clinical response. Lenalidomide (25 mg PO) is given on Days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle. Elotuzumab in three escalating dose cohorts (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) is administered by IV infusion on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of the 28-day cycle in the first two cycles and then on Days 1 and 15 of each subsequent cycle. Dexamethasone is given weekly at 40 mg PO. Initially, patients received 6 cycles of treatment unless withdrawn earlier due to disease progression or unacceptable. toxicity. The protocol was amended to allow for patients in the 10 and 20 mg/kg cohorts to receive treatment for up to 12 months following enrollment of the last patient. Key entry criteria: age ≥ 18 years; MM with at least one relapse; measurable disease M-protein component in serum and/or in urine; and prior lenalidomide treatment, if any, more than 6 weeks of first dose. To date, 24 patients with a median age of 60 years have been enrolled in the study and 23 patients have received study drug. The median time from initial diagnosis of MM was 5 years and patients had received a median of 3 prior MM treatments. Patients had been previously treated with thalidomide (58%), bortezomib (67%) or lenalidomide (21%) and 42% were refractory to their most recent MM therapy. Patients have been treated in the 3 cohorts; 3 patients each in the first two cohorts (5 and 10 mg/kg elotuzumab) and 17 patients (7 in dose-escalation phase and 10 in the expansion phase) in the third cohort (20 mg/kg). No dose limiting toxicities were identified during the dose-escalation phase of the study and no MTD was established. One patient discontinued in the first cycle due to grade 4 allergic reaction resulting from elotuzumab infusion in the expansion phase of the study. Additional SAEs (1 of each) included grade 2 atrial fibrillation (related to lenalidomide/dexamethasone) and unrelated grade 4 ruptured diverticulum, grade 3 neutropenic fever and grade 3 diarrhea.. Other common grade 3 or 4 AEs included neutropenia (25%) and thrombocytopenia (25%), which were managed by dose withholding or dose reduction of lenalidomide. Approximately 25% of patients experienced grade 1 or 2 chills and/or pyrexia associated with elotuzumab infusion. The best clinical response (IMWG criteria) in the 13 patients who have received at least two cycles of treatment is shown in the table below. Preliminary PK analysis of elotuzumab suggests a serum half-life of 10-11 days at 10 and 20 mg/kg. Elotuzumab at all three doses resulted in near complete saturation of CS1 sites on plasma cells and NK cells in bone marrow and NK cells in the peripheral compartment. In conclusion, the combination of elotuzumab with lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone has a manageable adverse event profile and compared to historical data for lenalidomide and high-dose dexamethasone, the preliminary efficacy data (≥ PR of 92%) are very encouraging. Additional safety, efficacy and PK/PD data will be presented at the meeting.

Abstract Abstract 750 Background: DKK1 is a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway in bone that is overexpressed in a subset of newly-diagnosed MM patients with osteolytic lesions as well as in refractory and relapsed patients. Expression also correlates with the number of osteolytic lesions in untreated MM patients. BHQ880 is a novel anti-DKK1 human monoclonal antibody. Alleviation of DKK1 inhibition by BHQ880 results in activation of the Wnt signaling pathway, leading to increased bone mass mediated via upregulation of osteoblasts in mice and monkeys. In murine models of MM bone disease; this anabolic activity of BHQ880 increased trabecular and cortical bone density. Lytic bone disease in MM is caused by osteoclast activation and osteoblast inhibition. Current approved therapies for the treatment of MM bone disease are focused on osteoclast inhibition (e.g., bisphosphonates) and BHQ880 therapy may be able to reverse the effects of DKK1-induced osteoblast inhibition. Therefore, dual therapy with zoledronic acid to decrease bone resorption and BHQ880 to increase new bone formation may provide an effective treatment strategy for MM bone disease. Methods: In the phase I portion of this phase I/II study, patients with relapsed or refractory MM with prior skeletal-related event (SRE) were treated with BHQ880 as an IV infusion Q28 days. Patients also received Zol (4 mg) and approved MM Tx (bortezomib not allowed). Bone markers and total DKK1 levels along with bone mineral density are being measured. Full PK profiles were collected during the first and second cycle, after which predose (trough) samples were collected to assess accumulation. Results: Ten pts (6:M, 4:F), median age: 66.5 yrs (range 41- 70), performance status-0(5 pts), 1(4 pts), 2 (1 pts) have been enrolled in the following dose levels (mg/kg) 3 (2 pts), 10 (starting dose level -4 pts), 20 (4 pts) and have been on treatment for 1 day to 5 28-day cycles. No BHQ880-related AE's have been observed to date. Bone mineral density (BMD) data from the first two patients treated at 10 mg show the following: a.) Pt 1 (hip +5.8%, spine N/A due to surgery, wrist -1.8%); b.) Pt 2 (hip -0.2%, spine +6.1%, wrist not done). The biomarker data from these patients show: a.) Pt 1 shows a maximal +98% change over baseline in PINP at day 15 post-treatment, while osteocalcin (OC) changes +17% at day 15, reaching a +56% change over baseline at cycle 4 day 1; uNTx/Cr changes – 43 % at cycle 2 day 15. b) Partial data from Pt 2 suggests a -44 % change in PINP and –73 % change in OC and a +73% change in uNTx/Cr. Baseline total DKK1 levels on 3 patients ranged from 8.8 to 21.5 ng/mL. Preliminary PK analysis is available in 1 out of 3 patients treated at 10mg/kg. The Cmax achieved after the first infusion was 165 ug/mL and 201 ug/mL after the second infusion. Calculated t1/2 was 188 hours after the first infusion and 254 hours after the second infusion. Regarding overall exposure, AUC0-672 hours after first infusion was 36081 hr*ng/mL and 48533 hr*ng/mL after the second infusion. Conclusion: BHQ880 given IV Q28 days appears to be well tolerated in combination with Zol and chosen MM Tx. Once safety of 40 mg/kg BHQ880 or the MTD dose has been determined, pts will be enrolled in the phase II portion to assess activity on a SRE endpoint. Updated safety, efficacy, bone density and biomarker data will be presented on all patients at the upcoming ASH meeting.

Abstract Abstract 1959 Background: Kinesin Spindle Protein (KSP) is required for cell cycle progression through mitosis. Inhibition of KSP induces mitotic arrest and cell death. ARRY-520 is a potent, selective KSP inhibitor. Cancers such as multiple myeloma (MM) which depend on the short-lived survival protein MCL-1 are highly sensitive to treatment with ARRY-520. ARRY-520 shows potent activity in preclinical MM models, providing a strong rationale for its clinical investigation in this disease. Methods: This Phase 1 study was designed to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ARRY-520 administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 and Day 2 q 2 weeks without/with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). Patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (RR) MM with 2 prior lines of therapy (including both bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent, unless ineligible for or refusing to receive this therapy) were eligible. Cohorts of at least 3 pts were enrolled in a classical 3 + 3 dose escalation design. Pts were treated for 2 cycles (4 weeks) to evaluate safety prior to dose escalation. Results: Twenty five pts have been treated to date, with a median age of 60 years (range 44–79) and a median of 5 prior regimens (range 2–16). All pts received prior bortezomib or carfilzomib, 21 pts received prior lenalidomide, 17 pts prior thalidomide, and 18 pts had a prior stem cell transplant. Pts received ARRY-520 without G-CSF at 1 mg/m2/day (n = 3), and at 1.25 mg/m2/day (n = 7, 6 evaluable). A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of Grade 4 neutropenia was observed at 1.25 mg/m2/day, and this was considered the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) without G-CSF. As neutropenia was the DLT, dose escalation with prophylactic G-CSF support was initiated, at doses of 1.5 mg/m2/day (n = 7, 6 evaluable), 2.0 mg/m2/day (n = 6) and 2.25 mg/m2/day (n = 2) with G-CSF. Both the 2.0 mg/m2/day and 2.25 mg/m2/day dose levels were determined to be non-tolerated, with DLTs of febrile neutropenia (FN) (2 pts at 2.0 mg/m2/day and both pts at 2.25 mg/m2/day) and Grade 3 mucositis (both pts at 2.25 mg/m2/day). One out of 6 evaluable pts at 1.5 mg/m2/day also developed a DLT of FN. In an attempt to optimize the Phase 2 dose, an intermediate dose level of 1.75 mg/m2/day with G-CSF is currently being evaluated. The most commonly reported treatment-related adverse events (AEs) include those observed with other KSP inhibitors, such as hematological AEs (thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, anemia, leukopenia), fatigue, mucositis and other gastro-intestinal AEs. Pts displayed linear PK, a low clearance and a moderate volume of distribution, with moderate-to-high inter-individual variability in PK parameters. The median terminal elimination half life is 65 hours. The preliminary efficacy signal as a single agent is encouraging with 2 partial responses (PR) observed to date per IMWG and EBMT criteria in a heavily pretreated population (23 evaluable pts). A bortezomib-refractory pt with 8 prior lines of therapy, including a tandem transplant, treated at 1 mg/m2/day of ARRY-520 obtained a PR after Cycle 6, with urine protein and kappa light chain levels continuing to decline over time. He remains on-study after 15 months of ARRY-520 treatment. A pt with 2 prior lines of therapy, including prior carfilzomib, has obtained a PR after Cycle 8 at 2 mg/m2/day of ARRY-520, and she is currently ongoing after 4.5 months on therapy. Fifteen pts had a best response of stable disease (SD), including 1 pt with a thus far unconfirmed minimal response, and 6 had progressive disease. A total of 10 pts (43%) achieved a PR or SD lasting > 12 weeks. Several additional pts have shown other evidence of clinical activity, with decrease in paraproteins, increase in hemoglobin levels and regression of plasmacytomas. The median number of cycles is 4 (range 1–28+). Treatment activity has not correlated with any baseline characteristics or disease parameters to date. Conclusions: : The selective KSP inhibitor ARRY-520 has been well tolerated, and shows promising signs of single agent clinical activity in heavily pretreated pts with RR MM. Prophylactic G-CSF has enabled higher doses to be tolerated. No cardiovascular or liver enzyme toxicity has been reported. Enrollment is ongoing at 1.75 mg/m2/day with G-CSF support, and a planned Phase 2 part of the study will be initiated as soon as the MTD is determined. Complete Phase 1 data will be disclosed at the time of the meeting.

Abstract Abstract 2936 Almost all patients (pts) with multiple myeloma eventually relapse and remission duration decreases with each regimen. The median Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) in pts with relapsed myeloma refractory to lenalidomide (len) and bortezomib (btz) is poor at 5 and 9 months respectively. A phase 1 study of len plus btz in pts with relapsed or relapsed, refractory MM (RRMM) demonstrated favorable toxicity and promising response and survival further confirmed in a phase 2 study with len, btz and dexamethasone (dex) [RVD]. In this retrospective study, we assessed the efficacy and toxicity profile of RVD therapy for pts with advanced RRMM. We retrospectively reviewed the records of all pts with RRMM treated with RVD at Princess Margaret Hospital between 03/09 and 05/11. Relapse was defined according to the Uniform International Criteria. Pts were given RVD therapy as previous described by Anderson et al and must have completed at least one cycle of RVD therapy. Primary endpoints were response rate (RR), PFS, OS, and toxicity. Pts discontinued therapy if they experienced PD, no additional benefit or unacceptable toxicity. Definitions of response and progression were used according to the EBMT modified criteria with a category of very good partial response (VGPR). To examine variables independently prognostic for PFS and OS, multivariate Cox analysis was performed. Differences in continuous variables between groups were compared using Mann-Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis tests. Survival curves were constructed according to the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log rank test. Thirty pts with RRMM received RVD therapy. Clinical characteristics are seen in Table 1. Median age at RVD initiation was 57 yrs (37–76 yrs), and 46.7% were male. Pts received a median of 3 prior therapies (1–6). In many instances, pts previously treated with len had len added to btz + dex at progression (n=6), or pts previously treated with btz had btz added to len + dex, at progression (n=5). Thalidomide (thal), len and btz containing regimens were previously used in 60%, 73.3% and 80% of pts respectively. PR or better was observed in 46.6%. After a median of 4.6 cycles (1–14), VGPR was seen in 4.8%, PR in 33% and SD in 14%. Pts who achieved PR or better experienced a significant improvement in PFS. There was no difference in terms of RR between those pts according to prior exposure to either btz or len (p=0.7 and 0.9 respectively). Eight pts experienced non-hematological grade 3/4 adverse events (26%), including muscle weakness, sepsis and pneumonia but there was no worsening of peripheral neuropathy. Grade 3–4 neutropenia and/or thrombocytopenia were commonly seen in 70% of pts (n=21). Disease progression was seen in 19 pts at a median of 3.9 months. Median PFS for pts previously exposed to len was 2.3 months vs 2.9 months for those with no prior exposure (p=0.75). On the other hand, median PFS for pts previously exposed to btz was 2.1 months vs 3.4 months for those with no prior exposure (p=0.9) In addition, median PFS for pts who achieved at least PR was significantly better at 5.9 vs 2.0 months for those who did not (p<0.005). (Figure 1) FISH cytogenetics studies were available in 19 out of 30 patients at relapse: 5 -normal, 4–13q deletion, 3-p53 deletion and 2 - t(4, 14). High-risk MM pts had a median PFS significantly lower of 0.6 months (CI 95%, 0–1.99) vs 4.7 months for those without high-risk features (CI 2.5–7.0) (p=0.008) (Figure 2) At the time of submission, 13 pts are alive (43.3%) and 7 pts (23%) continue on RVD therapy.Table 1.Clinical characteristics of patients with RRMM treated with RVDClinical characteristic N=30MedianRange%Age5737-76Male46.7%Female53.3%Hemoglobin (g/L)10571-155Creatinine (mmol/L)99.936-383Beta-2 microglobulin (mmol/L)280119-1440Lactate dehydrogenase (U/L)18189-255IgG56.6% (17)IgA23.3% (7)IgM3.3% (1)Light Chain16.6% (5)Kappa (mg/L)4005.3-346063.3% (19)Lambda (mg/L)5145.1-530036.7% (11)KappaLambda*BMPC57%6-95%M-spike serum (g/L)300-77M-spike urine (g/d)0.890-7.9Prior therapies31-6ASCT83.3% (25)Thal60% (18)Len73.3% (22)Btz80% (24)*BMPC, Bone marrow plasma cells In conclusion, RVD is active and well tolerated in pts with RRMM, including pts who have received prior len, btz, thal and ASCT but PFS is short at 3.9 months in this highly advanced disease group of patients.

Abstract Abstract 1853 Background: Bortezomib (1.3 mg/m2) combined with Lenalidomide (10–25 mg) and Dexamethasone (VRD) is effective in newly diagnosed and relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). Reported data on the effect of these drugs in relapse/refractory MM are available from the APEX and MM-009/MM-010 trials, respectively. These trials, however, were performed in patients with 2–8 prior regimens. Aim: This investigator sponsored two-step phase 2 HOVON trial was designed to evaluate escalated dosages of Bortezomib (B) given once weekly and daily Lenalidomide (L) combined with weekly Dexamethasone (D) (eVRD) followed by Lenalidomide maintenance in an homogenous group of patients with symptomatic MM in first relapse. The goal was to explore the maximum tolerated dose of this combination in order to achieve a durable second remission. Methods: Dose levels were B 1.3 mg/m2, L 10 mg, (level 1); B 1.6 mg/m2, L 10 mg (level 2); B 1.6 mg/m2, L 15 mg (level 3); B 1.6 mg/m2, L 20 mg (level 4). D dose was 20 mg days 1–2, 8–9, 15–16 in all dose levels. Inclusion criteria were symptomatic MM ISS stage 1–3, aged 18–80 in first relapse after initial treatment. The primary endpoint was response (complete response (CR) according to IMWG criteria, very good partial response (VGPR), partial response (PR), together overall response (ORR)) with Progression-free Survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicity as secondary endpoints. Results: Eighty-one patients were included, i.e. 15 patients in dose levels 1, 2 and 3, followed by 66 in the phase 2 part. This report is based on 12 patients in the dose escalation phase and the first 42 patients in the phase 2 part. Median age was 67 yrs, with ISS stages 1 (56%), 2 (40%) and 3 (5%). 37/54 patients had received HDM followed by stem cell transplant as part of first-line treatment. The MTD was reached at dose level 3 when the maximum of 3 SAEs in 5 patients was observed. After establishment of the MTD, the phase 2 part of the trial was performed with B 1.6 mg/m2 once weekly for 3 weeks, L 20 mg days 1–21 and D 20 mg days 1–2, 8–9, 15–16, for 8 cycles of 28 days followed by L maintenance 10 mg days 1–21 of a 28 days cycle. The median number of cycles was 6 in the dose-escalation phase and 7 cycles in phase 2. 7/12 (58%) patients in the dose-escalation phase and 23/42 (55%) patients in phase 2 started lenalidomide maintenance. Reasons for premature discontinuation of the protocol treatment were toxicity (14%), progression (24%), no response (5%) or other (14%). Polyneuropathy grade 3–4 occurred in 19% with a median time to maximum PNP of 123 days. Hematological toxicity grade 3 and 4 was observed in 29 % of patients In the phase 2 part including 42 patients the ORR was 92 %, ≥VGPR 64% and CR/nCR 30%. Median time to response was 1.1 cycles. At a median follow-up of 13.6 months PFS at 18 months was 52% and OS 76%. Among predetermined risk factors ISS stage, prior HDM/ASCT and achieved response on protocol, depth of response was the only significant factor which was associated with PFS (p<0.001) and OS (p<0.001), Eight patients died from progressive MM (n=4) or other causes (n=4). One second primary malignancy was observed in dose level 3. Conclusions: Escalated VRD followed by Lenalidomide maintenance is effective and feasible in patients with first relapse MM. We will present an updated follow-up at ASH This trial was registered as Eudract nr 2007–002533–37. Unrestricted grants and study drug were provided by Janssen and Celgene.

Abstract Abstract 3663 Introduction: Phosphoinositide-3-kinases (PI3Ks) play pivotal roles in cell signaling and regulate a variety of cellular functions relevant to oncogenesis. Impaired development and function of B and T lymphocytes has been demonstrated in PI3K-δ and PI3K-γ isoform knockout mice, supporting the development of PI3K-δ,γ specific inhibitors for B- and T-cell lymphoid malignancies. IPI-145 is a potent PI3K-δ,γ inhibitor in clinical development for patients (pts) with hematologic malignancies. The activity of IPI-145 via PI3K-δ and PI3K-γ isoform inhibition has been characterized in biochemical and cellular assays and demonstrated in preclinical models of B- and T-cell mediated disease. Early results of the Phase 1 study in pts with advanced hematologic malignancies are reported here. Methods and Patients: This Phase 1 dose-escalation study is designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and activity of orally administered IPI-145 in pts with advanced hematologic malignancies, including T-cell lymphomas/leukemias. Sequential cohorts of pts are enrolled at progressively higher dose levels with expansion cohorts of pts with select hematologic malignancies. IPI-145 is administered orally 2 times per day (BID) continuously in 28-day cycles. Tumor response is evaluated based on disease-specific standard criteria. Results: As of 16 July 2012, the study had enrolled 20 pts; 5 pts with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL), 4 with indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (iNHL), 3 with aggressive B-cell NHL [including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) n=2 and Richter's transformation n=1], 3 with multiple myeloma (MM), 2 with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), 2 with T-cell lymphoma [anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) n=2] and 1 with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Of these pts, 11 are male and 9 female, with a median [range] age of 63 years [30–81], with 36% <6 month from most recent prior systemic therapy. The median [range] number of prior therapies was 3 [1–8]. IPI-145 doses administered include 8 mg BID (n=1), 15 mg BID (n=6), 25 mg BID (n=7), 35 mg BID (n=3), and 50 mg BID (n=3). The median [range] number of treatment cycles was 2 [1–8], with 12 (60%) pts continuing on treatment. Adverse events (AEs) have occurred in 13 (65%) pts, including 7 (35%) pts with AEs Grade ≥3. Treatment-related AEs occurred in 11 pts (55%) with Grade ≥3 occurring in 5 pts (25%). Grade 4 neutropenia was the one dose limiting toxicity observed to date (15 mg dose cohort). New Grade ≥3 hematological laboratory abnormalities included neutropenia [n= 6 (30%)] and thrombocytopenia [n= 1 (5%)]. Grade 3 ALT/AST elevations occurred in 1 (5%) MM pt with onset 6 weeks after IPI-145 initiation. Preliminary PK show dose-proportional increases in plasma Cmax and AUC over the dose range studied. Further, the PK and initial pharmacodynamic (PD) data from the first 3 cohorts (8–25 mg BID) predict continuous suppression of the PI3K-δ pathway with increasing inhibition of the PI3K-γ pathway with a 25 mg BID dose or greater. In the evaluable pts (n=11), responses were observed at the 8, 15, and 25 mg BID dose levels including 2/3 CLL/SLL pts (0 CR/2 PR/1 SD), 1/2 iNHL pts (1 CR/0 PR/1 SD), and 1/1 in MCL (1 PR). No responses have been observed to date in evaluable pts with MM (0/3) or aggressive NHL (0/2). All pts with at least SD after 2 cycles (n=6) remain on treatment including the first pt dosed. Based on the PK/PD and the preliminary activity observed in pts with CLL, iNHL and MCL, an expansion cohort is enrolling pts in these select hematologic diseases dosed at 25 mg BID to further evaluate the safety and preliminary activity of IPI-145. Dose escalation continues with a focus on pts with T-cell malignancies and DLBCL where increasing suppression of the PI3K-γ isoform may improve the efficacy profile. Additional expansion cohorts in T-cell lymphoma, DLBCL, myeloproliferative neoplasms and the acute leukemias will better define disease specific activity. Conclusions: IPI-145, an oral, potent PI3K-δ,γ inhibitor, appears to be well tolerated and has shown initial clinical activity in pts with iNHL, MCL, and CLL. A dose of 25 mg BID effectively inhibits PI3K-δ, providing a rationale for expansion in CLL/iNHL/MCL. Additional safety and efficacy data from the ongoing dose escalation evaluation in T-cell/aggressive NHL and the CLL/iNHL/MCL expansion cohort will be presented.

Abstract Background The outcome of multiple myeloma (MM) patients who are no longer responding to thalidomide, lenalidomide (LEN) and bortezomib (BORT) is very poor, with a median event-free survival of 5 months and median overall survival (OS) of 9 months (Kumar SK et al, Leukemia 2012; 26;149-157). We have previously shown in a small retrospective study that the combination of continuous low dose oral cyclophosphamide (endoxan) and prednisone combined with lenalidomide (REP) had remarkable activity in heavily pretreated LEN-refractory multiple myeloma patients (median 6 lines of previous chemotherapy) (vd Donk et al; Br J Haematol 2010;148(2):335-7). To determine the optimal dose of lenalidomide with continuous cyclophosphamide and prednisone, we initiated a prospective study to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the REP regimen and to assess its efficacy and safety in LEN-refractory MM patients. Here we report safety and efficacy data from the phase 1 dose-escalation part of the REPEAT-study (NCT01352338). Patients and Methods Patients aged ≥ 18 years with LEN-refractory MM, ECOG-performance status 0-3 and adequate kidney, liver and hematologic function were included. Five dose levels were evaluated using a standard 3+3 design, based on dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurring in cycle 1. Patients received LEN in doses ranging from 10-25 mg/day on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle, while oral cyclophosphamide (50 or 100 mg) and prednisone (20 mg) were given continuously. Therapy was continued until progression. The MTD for the phase 2 part is defined as the highest dose level with 0 or 1 DLT's observed in 6 patients. Results Up till now, 35 patients were enrolled (22 in phase 1 and 13 in phase 2) from August 2011 to June 2013. The phase 2 part is still recruiting and data are not evaluable yet. One patient in phase 1 was excluded because of study violation and is not included in the analysis. The median age of the 21 evaluable patients in phase 1 was 69 years (range 41-73); 76% were male. The median duration of the disease from diagnosis was 41 months (range 18-96), median number of prior therapies was 3 (range 2-6), and 12 patients (57%) had previously received autologous SCT. All patients were LEN-refractory, 19 (90%) had prior BORT treatment, and 16 (76%) had BORT-refractory MM. Fifty-five % of the patients were considered high risk by FISH. At the time of analysis, 16 of 21 patients in phase 1 have discontinued treatment because of disease progression (13), alternative treatment (allo-SCT) (1), or adverse events (2). The MTD was defined as LEN 25 mg days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle, combined with oral cyclophosphamide 50 mg and prednisone 20 mg continuously (dose level 4), based on three patients experiencing a DLT: two developed pneumonia (in dose levels 4 and 5; CTC grade 3), and one patient at dose level 5 experienced CTC grade 3 dyspnea. Neutropenia (18%) and thrombocytopenia (18%) were the most common grade 3 hematological adverse events (AEs), which were managed with growth factor support and/or dose modification. There were no grade 4 hematologic AEs. Grade 3 respiratory tract infections (29%) and grade 2 fatigue (19%) were the most common non-hematological AEs. Venous thromboembolism occurred in 1 patient. Figure 1 shows a waterfall plot of the responses of the patients that participated in the phase 1 part of the study. Overall response rate (≥ PR) was 67% with 6 out of 21 (29%) patients achieving at least VGPR. In addition 2 patients achieved MR (≥ MR: 76%). Median PFS and OS were 6.3 and 15.5 months respectively. Similar results were achieved in the subset of patients with LEN- and BORT-refractory disease. Interestingly, laboratory experiments with purified myeloma cells from these patients suggest synergism between LEN and cyclophosphamide. Conclusions The REP regimen induces high response rates and prolonged PFS and OS in LEN-refractory patients with acceptable toxicity. The MTD is defined as LEN 25 mg days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle, combined with oral cyclophosphamide 50 mg and prednisone 20 mg continuously. Phase 2 is enrolling patients and evaluates efficacy and safety of the REP regimen at the MTD. REP should be considered a valuable salvage option for LEN-refractory MM patients. We will present an updated follow-up at ASH.
